Urban Birdhouse Tiny House

Walking Distance to Downtown
Greensboro, NC

We are a local, non-corporate, guest home rental management company that supports Guilford County high school students with learning differences.  Students benefit from working in the experiential setting provided at the homes we manage.

This tiny home was built by a local non-profit who's purpose is to build skills and reduce homelessness. We love their mission and their work and their people. We purchased this model tiny home from them in the fall of 2021 and modified it to be a permanent accessory dwelling until behind one of our other guest homes. It’s tiny, but has everything you need for a tiny life experience long or short.
